Families of missing loved ones gather for support

WILMINGTON — Hundreds of families and friends from across the country with missing loved ones gathered in Wilmington for a weekend of sharing, understanding and exploring.

The families gathered as part of the National CUE Center for Missing Person’s 7th Annual Missing Person’s Conference. Katie Towner has been searching for her cousin, Brian Sullivan, since 2007 when he disappeared from Rochester, New York. This year is Towner’s first time attending the missing persons conference.

Over the weekend, Towner met over 200 people from 23 states who are also searching for a missing loved one and understand what she is going through.

“To be able to speak with people that are experiencing the same things that we are and maybe that doors have been close on them as well and their cases have gone cold,: said Towner. “It’s very nice to be able to relate.”

The Cue Center is located in Wilmington, but serves as an advocate for families across the country. The conference gives everyone a chance to gather together in one place.

The theme of the conference was ‘Hope Lights the Way’ and gave families new approaches to finding out what happened to their loved one.

“We see a lot of bonding and relationships occurring for those who feel like they’re lost out their,” said CUE Center Founder Monica Caison.

Caison said many people attending the conference walk away with a new sense of hope.

“They’re meeting other victims that have found their loved ones, so our families are more encouraged that hey this does happen,” said Caison.

The non-profit organization has helped more than 9,000 families. If you have any information about any missing persons case, please call the CUE Center for missing persons at 910 343-1131.

HOPE LIGHTS THE WAY

To the mournful, love-filled words of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” and candles lighting up the night, a large gathering at Riverfront Park honored homicide victims who were once missing persons.

Crime Stoppers joins search for Damien Sharp with $2,000 reward

June 17, 2011

Warren County Crime Stoppers doesn’t usually get involved in missing persons cases, but in the case of Damien Sharp, the organization is making an exception.

Since Sharp was last seen in May of 2002, many local and regional organizations have contributed to the effort of finding him.

Crime Stoppers is joining that list and making the reward available the largest it has ever offered.

“It’s been a long time since Damien’s been missing,” Crime Stoppers Board President Pete Carnovale said. “We are willing to put up $2,000 for any information that would lead to the whereabouts of Damien.”

“All calls are anonymous and can not be traced,” according to the Crime Stoppers release announcing the reward. “Callers will remain anonymous throughout the payout process. Please call: 1-800-83-CRIME.”

Sharp’s mother said on Thursday that she was pleased and surprised by Crime Stoppers’ announcement.

“Thank God for Crime Stoppers,” “We’re just so grateful. I can’t even explain how much this means to me. It’s like someone’s reaching out and saying, ‘Why don’t we help you?'”

Police are investigating Sharp’s case as a missing person and a possible homicide. That it is possible that no crime was committed makes Sharp’s case an unusual one for Crime Stoppers.

“Our rewards are based on information that leads to the solving of a crime,” Carnovale said. “This is definitely beyond what we usually do. We feel it would help to have closure to the case.”

The board described resolving the case as “paramount,” according to Carnovale.

“The gesture is very gracious,” City of Warren Police Investigator Tony Chimenti said. “I hope that the amount of money that they’re offering up front for information would help us.”

“We feel that if we make it appealing to some individual who knows the whereabouts of where he is, dead or alive, this might entice someone to come forward,” Carnovale said.

“I hope somebody takes the opportunity to call, not just for the money, maybe for peace of mind,” Damien’s Mother said. “I would like to thank the Warren County Crime Stoppers for myself and my family, and for Damien.”

In addition to Damien, the CUE center lists those missing throughout the country. Damien is missing from Warren, PA which is also very near the NY border and in the list below of those from NY you will see Lori Bova (whose family are dear friends to us), Lakewood, NY and Warren, PA are coincidently and ironically only 20 minutes away from each other. (see here on our site for links for info about Lori). It was especially wonderful to have been able to be there on behalf of Lori’s mother who passed away last year, and it was also wonderful to see and meet so many other families from our area at CUE’s National conference in Wilmington.

The following missing persons from other states are currently listed; anyone with information concerning a missing person please contact our center, you do not have to reveal your identity. You must have your case registered to be featured on this site, click on “file a report” to learn more.

“The Audrey Nerenberg Act” H.R. 4162

To: US Congress

Amendment for The Missing Children’s Assistance Act of 1974

“The Audrey Nerenberg Act” H.R. 4162
I agree and support Act 4162 by way of this petition presented before me, by the CUE Center for Missing Persons and Milton Nerenberg, the father of Audrey Nerenberg; who is still missing. I agree that this law would aid in the search and recovery of missing adult person(s) that have been certified with a mental capacity of a child, to include children under the age of 18 years old. I understand this law would offer national organizations, media outlets and law enforcement alike to service these individuals as children and in some circumstances would qualify for the Amber Alert.
I understand this petition will be used for it’s intended purpose only.

In addition here is a tool to contact your government officials with. Just follow these instructions and you’ll have an automated way to urge your federal and state representives to support these measures.

THANK YOU MESSAGE FROM THE FAMILY OF DAMIEN

"My gratitude, a heartwarmth thanks, for anybody that is out there looking, that has helped," said Damien's mother, "Even in the smallest way, is appreciated by our family."

Over the years The FBI, The Warren County Sheriff's Dept., Pennsylvania State Police, Warren City Police Dept., Warren County District Attorney's office, U.S. Forest Service, Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office, Glade Volunteer Fire Department, the Salvation Army, and various K-9 teams, Dive teams, and countless other search volunteers, as well as support advocates such as those with the CUE organization have done something to help. Where it's impossible to mention everyone, even if not specifically mentioned here, you are not forgotten in your efforts, and no amount of thanks could ever suffice.

Never the less, a heartfelt thank you to all.
